The average price recorded in Le Plessis-Robinson stands at 5 481 €/m². That average covers a stock overwhelmingly made up of flats, rebuilt in successive waves since 1991: the apartments of the Coeur de Ville and of the new cité-jardins, delivered between the 1990s and the 2010s, do not compare with the dwellings left by the post-war housing estates of the 1960s, nor with the residual detached housing that survives on the edges of the rebuilt fabric. The high share of social housing also weighs on the structure of the stock put up for sale. The amounts come from the DVF database, which records the transactions actually registered before notaries, and not the prices shown in listings.

The first driver of the local market is housing output, continuous since the 1990s. The rebuilding of the Coeur de Ville, then of the new cité-jardins and of the districts inherited from the post-war housing estates, has renewed a large share of the stock in thirty years, and the number of dwellings continues to rise according to INSEE. That steady supply keeps up a high volume of transactions for a municipality of 28 848 inhabitants, of the order of 287 sales a year, and gives recently built housing a significant weight in the price references recorded across the area.
The second driver lies in local employment and in transport links. The La Boursidière business centre, refurbished in 2015 and reachable from the A86, and the Noveos business park, engaged in a transformation into a mixed district, together represent of the order of 12 000 jobs according to the municipality. The T10 tramway, brought into service in June 2023, has linked the town to the RER B at La Croix de Berny and to Clamart, which improves access to the neighbouring employment hubs. That combination of activity on site and of new links supports demand from working families.
Le Plessis-Robinson sits in the upper middle range of the municipalities of the south of the Hauts-de-Seine. The municipality passes above Antony and Bourg-la-Reine, but remains behind Sceaux, whose old centre and transport links pull values upwards.
The place is recorded as early as 839 under the name Plessiacus, a plessis being a hedge of interwoven branches used as an enclosure. In the 15th century, the lordship took the name Plessis-Piquet, from the lord Jean de La Haye. The municipality owes its present name to an open-air tavern: in the 1840s, the restaurateur Joseph Gueusquin opened the Grand Robinson, where diners ate in huts perched in the trees, in a nod to the novel Le Robinson suisse. The Robinson district then drew Parisians out for the Sunday. The publisher Louis Hachette bought the château and its lands in 1854 and became mayor of the municipality. Le Plessis-Robinson officially took its name on 12 November 1909.
The 20th century tipped the village into the conurbation. The municipality had only 549 inhabitants in 1901. From the 1920s, at the instigation of Henri Sellier and of the low-cost housing office of the Seine department, the architect Maurice Payret-Dortail designed there a cité-jardin intended at first for 240 modest families. The population reached 4 713 inhabitants in 1931 and a second scheme was begun. After the Second World War, growth accelerated with the post-war housing estates: 22 546 inhabitants in 1968, and five school groups built, among them Joliot-Curie in 1956 and François-Peatrik in 1966. The open-air taverns of Robinson, for their part, closed one by one.
At the end of the 1980s, the council began a methodical rebuilding of the town upon itself. In 1990, the architect François Spoerry, known for Port-Grimaud, was called in and recommended rebuilding a centre around the church and the château. Work on the Coeur de Ville started in 1991 on eleven hectares of derelict land, facing the parc Henri-Sellier: streets, squares, shops on the ground floor and low buildings in stone and slate. The first building came out of the ground in 1995, the district was inaugurated in December 2000 and carried on by Xavier Bohl after the death of Spoerry in 1999. The new cité-jardins, inaugurated in 2008 around an artificial river fed by rainwater, received the Grand Prix européen de l'urbanisme in 2012.
Le Plessis-Robinson has 28 848 inhabitants. According to INSEE, the French national statistics institute, the municipality records around 13 400 main residences, or 93 % of dwellings, against 1,4 % second homes and 5,3 % vacant dwellings: the local market is a market of year-round occupation, not of holiday homes. Again according to INSEE, close to 89 % of dwellings are apartments and a little more than 10 % houses, while 49 % of households own their main residence against 47 % tenants, of whom 28 % in social housing. Buyers are above all working families employed in the service hubs of the south of the Hauts-de-Seine or in Paris, the average household size being 2,15 people.
The average price recorded in Le Plessis-Robinson is 5 481 €/m², all sales combined. That figure comes from the DVF database, which records the transfers actually registered before notaries, and not from online listings. It is a municipal average, calculated on more than three hundred sales: depending on the district, the age of the building, the storey and the condition of the property, the gap between two dwellings can be marked. A valuation address by address remains necessary before setting a sale price.
The municipality reads by generations of building. The Coeur de Ville, built from 1991 around the church and its shop-lined squares, and the new cité-jardins inaugurated in 2008 concentrate the most recent and most sought-after dwellings. The sectors inherited from the post-war housing estates of the 1960s remain more affordable. Detached housing, in the minority, trades separately and depends above all on the size of the plot and on the quality of the immediate surroundings.
The municipality has no station on its territory: the Robinson station, terminus of a branch of the RER B, lies on the territory of Sceaux, on the municipal boundary. Since 24 June 2023, the T10 tramway has crossed the town between La Croix de Berny in Antony and Clamart, with several stops on site and an interchange with the RER B at La Croix de Berny. The A86 motorway also serves the La Boursidière business sector.
It is possible, but rare. According to INSEE, the municipality has a little more than 1 400 houses for close to 12 800 apartments, and the number of detached houses is falling as urban renewal schemes go ahead. Detached housing survives above all on the fringes of the rebuilt fabric. The great majority of purchase plans therefore concern apartments, in particular in the schemes delivered since the 1990s, which make up the bulk of available supply.
Because it is recent but drawn according to traditional codes. The Coeur de Ville, designed by François Spoerry and then by Xavier Bohl, lines up low buildings in stone and slate, streets, squares and shops on the ground floor, in a classical or regionalist architectural vocabulary. The new cité-jardins extends that approach around gardens and an artificial river. That planning choice sets the municipality clearly apart from the suburbs built in the 1960s and 1970s.
